En savoir plus sur le livre
As the daughter of a travelling salesman in the Midwest, Attenberg was drawn to the road. That wanderlust led her across the country-driving across America by herself on self-funded book tours, researching articles for magazines, or sometimes just crashing on couches when she was broke-and eventually on travels around the globe. All the while Attenberg was wrestling with a deep longing for independence while also searching for community.It was during these adventures that she began to reflect upon the experiences of her youth, the trauma, the challenges, the risks she had taken. Jami Attenberg reveals the defining moments that pushed her to create a life, and voice, she could claim for herself. What does it take to devote oneself to art? What does it mean to own one's ideas? What does the world look like for a woman moving solo through it?Exploring themes of friendship, independence, class, and drive, I Came All This Way to Meet You is an inspiring and singular story of finding one's way home-an examination of art and individuality that will resonate with anyone determined to listen to their own creative calling.
